  • "Genoa is not a genuine dog friendly accommodation."

    The outside is not enclosed, meaning your dog has to be on the lead at all times unless you are playing together. In addition, the manual states clearly that it is Guide Dogs only, and don't let them on the grass! Where else was Honey going to wee etc? Apart from that, Genoawas wonderful.

  • "We have stayed at this property before and it’s a particular favorite of ours."

    This time was no exception. Apart from a couple of minor grips we would be back. One of my personal issues was that there are too many perfume sticks placed around. I suffer from allergies and I did mention this to the booking agent about strong odours. Lastly the light in the bedroom hadn’t been dusted in ages and was full of cobwebs. On a positive we stayed Christmas week and they had put up a Christmas tree which was a nice touch.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to hear Genoa is a favourite of yours. We are sorry to hear of the cleanliness issues you found during your stay, we will be sure to raise this with the housekeeper. We hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

  • "Re. Booking ref 3667F-EN To whom it may concern."

    Firstly I would like to say thank you for the £100 compensation for the broken shower controls. The service we received regarding this was superb, the maintenance man was there with in minutes of us calling the office and he was very helpful. The apartment was beautiful, very clean and fully equipped. The view absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, I do have one complaint. We arrived at the apartment an hour early, we checked the key safe and as the key was there I presumed it would be ok to enter the apartment. We’d only been in there a few minutes when an Extremely aggressive woman came in screaming at my elderly parents that we had no right being in there until she had inspected the place. Ok, we made a mistake by entering early which I honestly did not think would be such an issue. I apologised over and over and said we would leave but there was absolutely no reasoning with this woman, she was so aggressive and rude. I worked in the travel industry on cruise ships and we were always told the guest should ALWAYS be treated with the utmost respect regardless if you thought they were in the wrong or not. This was most definitely not the case here. It’s such a shame we had to have this horrible experience as everything else was 5 star.

    Thank you so much for your feedback, we are pleased that you loved the property and that we were able to rectify the shower control issue very swifty for you. As per your key collection details, check in is strictly from 4pm – the keys are in the key safe ready for arrival but unless otherwise arranged, housekeepers and trades need access for the entirety of the changeover window, to ensure that you will find the property in its best condition. However, we do apologise, as this is not the welcome we expect our guests to receive when they arrive. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

  • "This property was one of the best we have stayed in."

    It never felt like a holiday rental it was a real home from home. We loved it so much we have booked to visit again in October. My only grumble is the Valley Road Hill it is very steep if coming up from the beach. Only mention this for the benefit of those less able. However this has not deterred us from wanting to return.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to leave Feedback following your recent holiday at Genoa and we are so pleased to hear you loved the property and felt at home.

    The view I never get tired of looking at. It's a lovely apartment, and a great asset that we can bring along our little dog too, so she can enjoy the holiday break we have. Although we live in Cornwall ourselves, mid county, we love coming to visit Carbis Bay, and staying there. We had a couple of small issues, such as the bathroom window wouldn't open, and the top bedroom window wouldn't close, so we reported it straight away to the office for them to look at once our week had ended. But it wouldn't stop me from staying at this lovely apartment again. Thank you.

    On to places to eat. We could thoroughly recommend The Firehouse in Fore Street, St Ives and Cafe Pasta on the harbourside. Two places that did wonderful full english breakfasts were On Shore and The Ocean Grill on the harbourside. I loved my coffee at Costa in Tesco (Carbis Bay) and the view from there must be the nicest of any Costa in the country. If anyone wants to experience a wonderful pasty i would say Rowes in Penzance or Helston are just gorgeous. Places we really enjoyed were the views from Cape Cornwall and Lamorna Cove, Mullion Cove and the Minnack Theatre." A. Rosser

    I have stayed at a number of popular hotels in St Ives but this was by far a better experience. The whole process from start to finish was straight forward and uncomplicated, many times over the years I have experienced less than satisfactory accommodation and service, this was not the case with Genoa our expectations were exceeded from the minute we met your representative, you seem to have this process spot on. We like the coffee shop in St Ives ‘The Hub’ for snacks and coffee, also the fish bar next door did amazing fish and chips…we always make a trip to the Tinners Arms at Zennor for lunch and that didn’t disappoint. We also had dinner a couple of times at The Badger Inn in Lelant, which had excellent food and service.

    The standard of the accommodation and cleanliness was excellent, the greet/handover was efficient and the holiday more than met our expectations.

The Wyevale Garden Centre is an excellent coffee stop and we ate out twice at the La Casita, the food and service here was excellent and they were very accommodating to our granddaughter.The Eden Project is well worth a visit although quite expensivem, we used our Tesco Clubcard vouchers and for four adults (one of which was a concession i.e. over 60) it only cost £28 – good tip for prospective visitors."

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
